WP at Wolcott
Here's an upload at the request of Ryan.
Originally, Braden, Jim, and I were shooting orange trains across the river. Knowing 1983 was leaving town and going north, we assume that we should stay put on the Missouri side as UP trains can fly up the Falls City. However, dispatch warned 1983 of trespassers fishing near Wolcott and advised them to slow roll by. With this knowlage, Braden and I hauled ass to this spot and made it with about 60 seconds to spare. He thankfully was only going about 15-20 MPH. After this, we headed back to the Missouri side and shot a few BNSF trains, including an H1 leader. Maybe I'll upload that photo soon.
This train is a St. James oil train being rerouted via the Falls City and beyond west rather than across the KP and Moffat.
